I visited Haedong Yonggungsa Water Temple with a couple of
friends on Saturday. This is a temple right on
the coast of Busan and I would definitely say has been my favourite temple to see
so far in Korea and it might stay as #1throughout my stay! You can explore the
temple while breathing in the sea air and hearing the waves crash on the
coast. It has a peaceful and serine
setting which added a lot to the experience.
On our way in, they had all of the 12 Chinese zodiac
animals line up!
Year of the Snake!
We went for a little walk along the coast and we embraced
the peace and quiet and the salty air!
Exercise stations they have set up in various locatoins
Try to throw a coin in bowl!
Little underground cave
After our exercision, we went to Haeundae beach for the rest
of the afternoon. There, we
walked around, stopped for lunch and ran into some people we knew. We also watched some live entertainment
and did some people watching.

That night, we picked up some Sushi for a Japanese themed
dinner and movie night. Aimee is a
fan of a director named Miyazaki, so we watched one of his animanted films and ate delicious fresh sushi. I had the spicy tuna,
which was made with fresh tuna, not from the can! My taste buds have really expanded since being here and I am
starting to enjoy foods I would have never imagined even trying in the past.
On Sunday, I woke up at 7am to meet with my friend Casey who
volunteers once a month at a local orphanage. The class was from 9am until 11am with six little girls who
all chose to take that class on Sunday mornings. They were all cute, friendly girls and we taught them a bit
but mostly played games with them!
For lunch, Aimee and I met again in Haeundae to have lunch
with a Korean friend Aimee met in Busan.
We ate spicy chicken and after lunch we invited him along to come to the
aquarium for the afternoon. We had
fun exploring the aquarium and watched the sharks getting fed.
He showed us a little path by the beach and we went on
a nice walk after. The path had
trees and flowers along it and continued beside the coast. I will take advantage of that beautiful walking path
again in the future!
We called it a day after that, it was another busy but great
weekend and I was ready to go home!
